Grammar | Past Simple: regular verbs, positive

🕰️ Past Simple (Pasado Simple): cuando se usa?



El Past Simple se usa para hablar de acciones, estados o hábitos que pasaron y terminaron en un momento específico del pasado. Normalmente sabemos cuándo pasó o el contexto lo deja claro.

- ✅ Acciones únicas o repetidas, pero terminadas en el pasado:
Se usa para eventos que ocurrieron antes del momento actual.
- I visited Turkey in 2015. — Visité Turquía en 2015.
- She bought a nice laptop yesterday. — Ella compró un portátil bonito ayer.
- He delivered newspapers four times last month. — Repartió periódicos cuatro veces el mes pasado.
- My brother applied for a visa six times before he got one. — Mi hermano solicitó un visado seis veces antes de conseguir uno.
- ✅ Acciones consecutivas: Para narrar una serie de hechos finalizados.
- She finished her work, walked to the beach and swam. — Terminó su trabajo, caminó a la playa y nadó.
- Josh pushed the door open and looked inside the room. — Josh empujó la puerta y miró dentro de la habitación.
- Silverman ran to the car, jumped in and raced off into the night. — Silverman corrió hacia el coche, se subió de un salto y se alejó a toda velocidad en la noche.
- When we reached the crossing I turned to the left while Micky turned to the right. — Cuando llegamos al cruce, yo giré a la izquierda mientras Micky giró a la derecha.
- Wall Street traders lost a fortune when the Asian markets collapsed. — Los operadores de Wall Street perdieron una fortuna cuando colapsaron los mercados asiáticos.
- ✅ Hábitos o estados pasados: Acciones que ocurrían repetidamente.
- When I was a child, I played soccer every day. — Cuando era niño, jugaba al fútbol todos los días.
- We lived just outside Oxford in the nineties, but we didn’t have a car. — Vivíamos justo a las afueras de Oxford en los años noventa, pero no teníamos coche.

💡“Pistas” típicas: expresiones de tiempo (time expressions)



El Past Simple aparece mucho con:

- yesterday = ayer
- last week / last month / last year / last summer = la semana pasada / el mes pasado / el año pasado / el verano pasado
- in January / in 2001 = en enero / en 2001
- an hour / a week / a year ago = hace una hora / una semana / un año
- when… = cuando…
- before… = antes de…
Ejemplos:

- I earned money last month.
- They invested in 2001.
- She lent me €800 yesterday. (800 = eight hundred)

💡¿Cómo se forma?



El Past Simple de los verbos regulares se forma, por regla general, añadiendo la terminación -ed a la forma base del verbo (infinitivo). Esta forma es igual para todas las personas (I, you, he, she, it, we, they):

Past simple de un verbo regular ▶️ = verbo ▶️ + -ed

Pero dependiendo de cómo termine el verbo, se aplican variaciones:

▶️ Verbos que terminan en -e → solo se añade -d.
like → liked
dance → danced
▶️ Verbos que terminan en consonante + y → se cambia la -y por -i y se añade -ed.
study → studied
carry → carried
▶️ Verbos que terminan en vocal + y → se añade -ed normalmente.
play → played
enjoy → enjoyed
▶️ Verbos de una sílaba que terminan en la única vocal + consonante → se duplica la última consonante y se añade -ed.
stop → stopped
plan → planned
▶️ Verbos de dos o más sílabas que terminan en vocal tónica + consonante → se duplica la última consonante y se añade -ed.
prefer → preferred (el acento cae al final)
visit→ visited (el acento no cae al final) 
▶️ Verbos de regla general → se añade -ed.
work → worked
look → looked
listen → listened
wait → waited

💡¿Cómo se pronuncia el verbo con la terminación -ed?



La terminación "-ed" puede tener tres sonidos distintos: 

/id/
Cuando el verbo termina en sonido /t/ o /d/
want → wanted
need → needed
decide → decided
/d/
Cuando el verbo termina en sonido sonoro o una vocal (no muda)
play → played
clean→ cleaned
hug → hugged
remember→ remembered
/t/
Cuando el verbo termina en sonido sordo (susurrante) (p, k, s, ks, sh, ch, f)
help → helped
kiss → kissed
mix → mixed
research → researched
stop → stopped
